NARROW ESCAPE FROM RIOT.
BALTIMORE, Juuo 16-In today's game be-
tween the St. Louis and Baltimore clubs there
was exciting time, and but for the prompt
action of the police riot would have resulted.
An immense crowd present, and after the
Baltimore club had lost the game by of
Burns in the second inning, and the St Louis
succeeded in teiDg the score the excitement
to fever heat. Four innings had been
played without a man crossing the plate. Um-
pire McQuade had aroused considerable ill-feel-
ing by giving close decisions against the home
team The Browns wen in for their half of the
ninth inning. One hand was out; WEIGH made q
hit. and in attempting to steal second, clear
ly thrown out, but in order to save himself DELHI
erately out of the base line and knocked
Greenwood off his feet, making him
WEIGH safe Then the crowd howled. and while
an argument was going on between umpire and
PLAYERS it swarmed over the wires and into the
field. An extra large police force happened to
be on hand, and they promptly forced the crowd
back, and in order to allay the excitement
arrested WEIGH for assauiting Greenwood Man
ager Barnie and Captain COmiskey saw that it
would not be safe to play the game out and de-
cided to let IL be called back to the end of the
eighth inninc and make it a tie game WEIGH
was taken before magistrate and released on
bail for a hearing tomorrow at 2 p. NJ. The
score at tho end of the game stood eight runs
for each club, and it is probable that ten innings
would have been required to decide it. McQuade
was to blame for the trouble which would have
been avoided had he declared WEIGH out for OBJ
structinc fielder. as he clearly had right to
do. About 5000 people were present Score:
